Base station and terminal apparatus

Abstract

A base station (10) of an embodiment includes a first wireless signal processing unit, a second wireless signal processing unit, and a link management unit (120). The first wireless signal processing unit is configured to be able to transmit and receive wireless signals using the first band. The second wireless signal processing unit is configured to be able to transmit and receive wireless signals using a second band that is different from the first band. The link management unit manages a link state of the first wireless signal processing unit and a link state of the second wireless signal processing unit. If each of the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit has established a link by executing association processing with the same terminal apparatus, upon receiving a multi-link request from the terminal apparatus, the link management unit establishes a multi-link with the terminal apparatus using the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit.

1 . A base station comprising:
 a first wireless signal processing unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a first channel;   a second wireless signal processing unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel; and   a link management unit configured to manage a link state of the transmitting and receiving using the first channel and a link state of the transmitting and receiving using the second channel,   wherein if each of the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit has established a link by executing association processing with the same terminal apparatus, upon receiving a multi-link request from the terminal apparatus, the link management unit establishes a multi-link with the terminal apparatus using the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit.   
     
     
         2 . The base station according to  claim 1 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are included in mutually different frequency bands. 
     
     
         3 . The base station according to  claim 1 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are included in the same frequency band. 
     
     
         4 . A terminal apparatus comprising:
 a first wireless signal processing unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a first channel;   a second wireless signal processing unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel; and   a link management unit configured to manage a link state of the first wireless signal processing unit and a link state of the second wireless signal processing unit,   wherein if each of the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit has established a link by executing association processing with the same terminal apparatus, upon receiving a multi-link request from the terminal apparatus, the link management unit establishes a multi-link with the terminal apparatus using the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit.   
     
     
         5 . The terminal apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are included in mutually different frequency bands. 
     
     
         6 . The terminal apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are included in the same frequency band.
